Window Dressing

Window dressing refers to actions taken to make financial statements, liquidity, or performance appear stronger than they really are around the reporting date. This may involve delaying expenses, accelerating collections, reducing liabilities temporarily, or shifting balances for presentation purposes. While not always illegal, aggressive window dressing can mislead users and weaken the quality of reporting.
